JEFX Posted December 1, 2024 Posted December 1, 2024 Hi all! I have been away from DCS for quite a while (almost 2 years). I was sick of trying to optimize my VR experience (see specs below). I have been playing Star Citizen since with mixed pleasure and frustration... But today I came back to my first love: DCS! Those old enough know me, I guess, since I have been here since the very beginning (2003 LOMAC). What I want to share here is that I stopped flying DCS in VR because of the very poor performance. For me it was almost unplayable... Today I tried again (a bit nervous) with the very same system and settings and to my great surprise, it is way much smoother (with much higher frames: almost double)... I didnt change anything!!! I have a decent system (but not top recent) and I really take this like ED really did optimize a lot!!! It is sooo good to be back!! Cheers all! Specs: REVERB G2, i9 9900k, RTX 3090, 64Go DDR 4 RAM 3 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] In DCS I fly jets with thousands of pounds of thrust... In real life I fly a humble Cessna Hawx XP II with 210 HP :D
JEFX Posted December 1, 2024 Author Posted December 1, 2024 Oh.. And I want to add that what made me come back is this most incredible free missions/campaingns generator : BRIEFINGROOM. Those who dont know it, I highly encourage you to check it out!!! https://dcs-briefingroom.azurewebsites.net/ 3 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] In DCS I fly jets with thousands of pounds of thrust...

Hotdognz Posted December 4, 2024 Posted December 4, 2024 Welcome back, VR has certainly taken great steps to smooth performance in late 2023/2024Sent from my CPH2333 using Tapatalk
Greyman Posted February 18 Posted February 18 (edited) I'm also a VR pilot who has recently returned after a year or so away from DCS and even though that return was initially more out of desperation, over let's say another flight sim offering, it has to be one of the best moves I've made. The performance, especially for me in VR, has been a literal eye-opener and I'd somehow forgotten how much satisfaction one can derive from blowing virtual stuff up. My first flights were with the A10C II, as I'd previously flown it and its predecessors for years, but I've more recently being enjoying the virtues, and challenges, of the Apache. Only yesterday, I discovered the Briefing Room website and although I've yet to get to fly any generated missions or campaigns, I have been having a go at generating both and it definitely looks like a winner. All in all, whether the alternative use of my PC simming time improves or not, I'm pretty well hooked on DCS again. Edited February 18 by Greyman 2
